Here are some teams planning to enter X-Mania 8 this weekend. Aniken, ShootingD and Tsuji have said that they can't make it. The status of other top players is up in the air. Koike, USA and Ashitana aren't listed, but that team seems like a safe bet. There's a rumor that VF players Fuudo and Itazan plan to attend. Perhaps Chibita Blanka will join them.

Chibita supposedly got Blanka lessons from Komoda. Would be really cool if there was a VF team @ X-Mania.

re: MayakonSeems to be semi-retired. Though there have been very few Kansai tourneys since Grand Master Challenge wrapped up. Otochun seems to be taking his place on the old Kawachikko team. (like Pony did last year)

BTW, there's a east-west exhibition match at Mikado the night before X-mania. (i.e. later today) Should be hot.
